Hurray! Yupi! It's time to celebrate language!What sounds do people make to show their feelings? And how are these sounds expressed in different languages? Look at the faces for a hint, sound out the foreign words, then lift the page for the English word.

“This original offering is a delightful addition to the canon of multicultural picture books and a fun read-aloud guessing game.” ~ School Library Journal
